Mary Dubos was admitted to Boca Raton Community Hospital in serious condition with an abdominal aneurysm. The hospital called upon Nursing Care Services, Inc., to provide around-the-clock nursing services for Mrs. Dubos. She received two weeks of in-hospital care, forty-eight hours of post release care, and two weeks of at-home care. The total bill was $3,723.90. Mrs. Dubos refused to pay, and Nursing Care Services, Inc., brought an action to recover. Mrs. Dubos maintained that she was not obligated to render payment in that she never signed a written contract, nor did she orally agree to be liable for the services. The necessity for the services, reasonableness of the fee, and competency of the nurses were undisputed. After Mrs. Dubos admitted that she or her daughter authorized the forty-eight hours of post release care, the trial court ordered compensation of $248 for that period. It did not allow payment of the balance, and Nursing Care Services, Inc., appealed. Decision?
